Game: PLO

I have a hand, where HEM claims I have an Equity of 31.4%, which when the money went in at the flop looks right.

The problem is, it's a $51.25 pot, which I won, and it also claims a EV$Diff of -$50.09

31.4% equity of a $51.25 pot means I should expect to win $16.09. That's the definition of equity. EV$Diff should therefore be -$35.16, if I understand what that field is trying to tell me.

One complication is it's a four way pot. One stack double mine, one nearly equal, one smaller. Equity when the money went in was 58%/31%(me)/8%(Smallest stack)/2%(largest stack)

Please post or attach the actual hand history, and I will ask one of the developers to take a look and explain it to you.

I've figured it out, thanks.

The $ field on the sessions tab is the amount won -minus- investment.

So this $51.25 pot was actually a $73.25 pot that I put in $22.
31% of $73 is $23, so I should expect to win $1
When I actually win $51, the diff is $50.

Your math works, my understanding did not.

OK, great.

After 11+ hours on the forums today I knew I wouldn't be able to comprehend the question. :D
